So I got the CEntrance Ideal Driver and that helped somewhat. I could get the Onyx to record and playback without too many glitches.... but I had to push out the latency a lot. And everytime I started up the computer I had to do a special reset command to the Onyx. So I just sent the whole thing back to Mackie and I'm gonna get the 1200F... hopefully that goes better.
I also use a Digi 002 and that has always been stable for me.
Woah there goes Mackie's 100% perfect score...
